Simon Square, our recently completed CLT tenement located in the centre of Edinburgh, has been shortlisted by the Scottish Design Awards 2023 for the Residential Multi-Unit category.
The project echoes a traditional Scottish tenement, built in a contemporary way, out of healthy, carbon-locking solid structural timber with the form embracing light, view and openness.
Located on a tight site, in Edinburgh’s Southside, surrounded by a diversity of 19th century stone tenement, Simon Square contains 6 flats, two per floor with the upper extended up into a duplex with rooftop terrace. The form pulls itself up to its north boundary to create a shared entrance court to the south, protected from the street but enlivening it.
The final winners of the Scottish Design Awards 2023 will be announced 29th June.
